PELICANS, EGRETS AND ASSORTED HERONS.

My daughter was in town recently and with Kathleen and I we walked around city park lakes trying to capture a few shots of the last little flock of white pelicans still here. As usual we saw lots of waterfowl and had a great time. We hope that you enjoy these.

A FEW WHITE PELICANS ARE STILL HERE.

MY DAUGHTER, MELANEE CAUGHT THE BEST SHOT OF THE DAY

Not sure if it is age or gender or what but the yellow around the eyes is gorgeous and only present on a few of the birds

EGRETS, TIRED OF BEING UPSTAGED AND OUTNUMBERED BY PELICANS ARE PUTTING ON PLUMAGE AND LOOKING GOOD.

Uncropped, he was so close and squawking at me

They all seemed to be listening to an egret orator on the left.

I tracked this Egret on a slow 4 frames per second across the lake and noticed in post production that he flew into a pretty good focal plane with a Great Blue and a Cormorant

And then he takes off. I get one capture before he shows me "bird butt"

Green heron.

Also a green heron, I think. Tricolored's look like this but have a longer neck.
